    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a dance team called?

    A dance team is typically called a performance or competition team but may also be called a dance squad or group. These terms all generally refer to groups of dancers who come together to perform at events, competitions, or shows.

    Dance teams are found in many different places including schools, universities, dance studios, professional companies, and community groups. A team will usually have a leader or coach who choreographs the routines and leads rehearsals, and the performers will have regular practices or rehearsals to prepare for performances.

    Some common examples of teams you may be familiar with in Toronto are cheerleading squads, drill teams, hip-hop crews, etc. In other countries around the world, they may have different names.

    What is the purpose of a dance team?

    The purpose of a dance team is to bring together a group of dancers to perform choreographed routines and entertain audiences.

    These teams often participate in competitions, perform at events, and get audiences excited before sports games. They also serve as a fantastic way for performers to improve their skills, gain experience and form a community through the shared love of dance.

    Some also come together to provide health and fitness benefits as regular dancing practices are a great way to build strength, flexibility and overall fitness.

    You'll find these groups in a wide range of settings including universities and studios around Toronto and the world. These teams generally all have the ability to entertain, educate, compete, build community, improve fitness, and provide professional development opportunities through the medium of dance, but each team usually focuses on a few of these goals.

    What is teamwork in dance?

    Teamwork in dance is when we talk about how dancers collaborate and coordinate their performances to achieve a common goal. It can also include working together to choreograph and perfect a routine, supporting each other during performances, and fostering a positive and supportive environment between all the members of the dancing teams.

    Mutual respect, trust, and communication are vital parts of each performer's teamwork. Each member of the group also needs to take accountability for their role in the show and to work with the other members to create a single show - not to just highlight their own abilities.

    Teamwork is essential for the success of team dance, as it allows the performers to come together to create a polished and coherent presentation that showcases everyone's skills and talents.

    What is the leader of a dance team called?

    The leader of a dance team Canada, is typically called the captain, coach or choreographer, depending on the size of the group and how many layers of management it has. They will oversee all the Canadian dancers on the team.
    A smaller team will probably have one person who carries out the roles of a choreographer, manager and coach, while larger and better-funded teams will have one person for each of these roles, possibly having multiple choreographers.
